Headington Girls School

We are grappling with girls day schools in the Oxford area. Went to see Headington on an open day - need to go back solo as it was a bit of a zoo - but wondered if anyone had any up-to-date or local views on it. Also wondering what the views on the headmistress were - I found her rather a cold fish, but then she said a few things that were interesting and made me wonder if there was more there than I previously thought.

Anyway all views, however short, v much appreciated please!

Oh dear.... we're back to Tatler again

Surely someone must have insider knowledge?

no day fees are about 2k a term cheaper than CLC

but that isn't the point, I want to know what it is like as a SCHOOl, I know how much it costs already!

It's the same price as Cheltenham Ladies isn't it?

princesspeahead · 13/10/2008 19:58

It isn't very expensive, in fact that is one of the nice things about it. It is £5000 a TERM LESS than the boarding school which is option 2 (because we'd be sending her as a day girl)...

Hermione is about to leave unfortunately!

But thank you for noticing my thread anyway
